Excessive traffic indication using Seti@home/ Boinc

I am having the same issue as someone posted earlier, where the traffic indicator constantly flashes after loading BOINC 5.4.9Here is what I got from the BOINC / seti@home forum:

"It isn't accessing the internet. The lights on the ZA icon show the communication between Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe

This is happening on TCP port 31416 on the localhost network (127.0.0.1) and is done in real time. On BOINC 5.2.13 this was refreshed every 5 seconds. Now it's done every second. "

Thisproblem is kind of annoying, which now is impossible to tell if you are sending or receiving.

Is there a way to summit a problem report so there might be a chance someone will look at this an come up with a update to fix this? What I take from the message above, since it is being refreshed every second, ZA is now showing the communciation.
